Description

Countless beige coloured crystals of Pyromorphite covering typically cavernous Quartz matrix. The slightly barrel-shaped Pyromorphite is almost excellent developed, sharp edged and highly lustrous. The last mentioned fact gives this nice specimen a sparkling look. The slightly tapering terminations are so far excellent and there are only minimal imperfection. A very good miniature specimen found in the heydays of the great Rosenberg Mine near Braubach.
